Executive Governor of Lagos State, Akinwumi Oladapo Ambode
has emerged the winner in a keenly contested online poll conducted by the African
Leadership Magazine UK. Gov. Ambode polled 37.2% of the total votes cast to
emerge Nigeria’s best performing Governor.
Ambode got 32.7% , Running mate in the contest, River state
Governor, Nyesom Wike got 29% while Obiano of Anambra secured 18% total vote
cast to maintain the third race.
In the fourth place is Delta State Governor, Patrick Okowa with 13%; and Governor Nasir El-Rufai
of Kaduna state sits in the fifth position with 5% of vote casts.
The Good Governance Poll was initiated by the African
Leadership Magazine UK, in line with the magazine’s objective of providing
credible information and support to leaders in Nigeria and Africa at large.
The Poll is part of the group’s strategic engagement tool
designed to monitor performance, gauge the mood of the electorates, promote
good governance, as well as engender peer review mechanisms amongst leaders in
Nigeria and Africa at large. The Good Governance Poll is particularly important
in Nigeria, following the country’s prevailing realities; while some Governors
in the country have been unable to meet their obligation to the electorates,
others have been ingenious in managing state resources and also making
concerted efforts towards shoring up their IGR. These States Chief Executives
deserve to be celebrated.
The Publisher, Dr. ken Giami , in announcing the winners of the Good Governance Poll, stated that “African Leadership Magazine leverages its robust offline and online engagements – with about 2.2 Million daily online post reaches and over 400,000 Monthly magazine circulation to promote purposeful leadership and actively engage leaders for the greater good of the citizenry.”
